IMPROVEMENT IN THRASl-IING-MACHINE FRAMES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 205,263, dated June 25,1878; application filed December 7, 1877.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, THEoPHILUs HARRI- sON, of Belleville, in the countyof St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Thrashin g Machines, Frames, of which the following is aspecification:

Figure 1 is avertical longitudinal section of a thrashing-machine frameto Which my iinprovement has been applied, taken through the line x Fig.2. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. K

Similar letters of reference indicate corre spending parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish thrashing-machines whichshall be so conp strncted that they may be turned in a very small spaceand readily arranged or set in the desired position for use.

The invention Will first be described` in connection With the drawing,and then pointed out in the claim.

A represents the rear Wheels, and B the rear axle. O represents the foreWheels, and D the fore axle. E are the rear sills, which are attached,near their rear ends, to the rear axle B, and which are connected attheir for- Ward ends and their rear parts by the cross bars el e2.

F are the forward sills, Which cross each other, as shown in Fig. 2, andthe rear parts of Which are bolted to the front cross-bar e1 and theforward parts of the rear sills E. The forward parts ot' the crossedsills F are bolted to the bolster G, which is pivoted to the fore axle Dby the king-bolt H.

I are the posts of the cylinder-frame, the lower ends of which areattached to the forward ends of the crossed sills F and to the ends of across-bar, J, attached to the said crossed sills F at such a distance infront of their point of intersection that its ends Will be out of theWay of the fore Wheels D in turnlng.

This construction enables the machine to be turned in a small space, andthus greatly fa.- cilitates getting the machine into place beforethrashing.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patentl p The rear frameE, connected With front bolster G bycrossed sills F F, as and for the purpose specified.

THEOPHILUS HARRISON.
